GUEST WEEK: Sahuagin by Chris Cox

The Sahuagin are yet another malevolent race (D&D has a lot of those), this time from deep, deep waters. These fellas are the natural enemies of aquatic elves, and other gentle creatures of the sea. They have bonds with sharks, both by being able to speak with them and by becoming excited by the smell of blood (and going into a rage if its their own blood). Their god is Sekolah, a giant devil shark.

Fortunately for surface dwellers and those who live further up in the ocean, Sahaugin are weak-eyed (especially in sunlight) and water dependant. Unfortunately for those people, they're also mutable creatures. Some sahaugin have an extra set of arms, while others have the appearance of the sea's more benign races. They're ruthless and xenophobic, and while their own society runs relatively smoothly, they believe in the eradication of other races.

Just be careful when you go fishing.

3D models this time! Boy, they's nicely lit. Brought to you by Chris Cox, who's fairly new to the game, but very excited about it.

To be fair, they are right about being the master race. On average, they're smarter, stronger, and wiser than most humans.Hell, most of the world is water, and they have all of it.They've already taken over the world and no-one noticed.

About This Blog

Dungeons & Drawings was started in the summer of 2010 by Blanca Martinez and Joe Sparrow as an illustrative project to re-imagine the many fantastical creatures that feature in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game series.

For us, one of the most fun elements of D&D growing up was simply perusing the various "Monster Manuals", which catalogue hundreds of varied beasts for use in your campaigns. These books are illustrated by a variety of amazingly talented fantasy artists who continue the proud tradition of painters like Frank Frazzetta.

What this blog seeks to do is to take the ideas behind these monsters and redesign them with a more simplified, illustrative goal in mind - trying to be adventurous as possible with colour, style and composition whilst pushing the concept of the creature as far as it will go.

Both Blanca and Joe are professional artists who work as animators in London. They aim to upload an illustration each every Sunday and have run numerous "guest weeks" involving contributions from such famous and talented folk as Matt Layzell and Katie Tiedrich.
